MBA Lecture Series

To supplement the coverage of business topics found in the MBA program’s courses and
ensure that students are aware of trending topics in business, lectures series and
networking events are employed to provide MBA students direct interaction with business
leaders.

The MBA Business Conversation Series (BCS) is sponsored by the MBA Society to have prominent experts from a variety of fields
speak throughout the year on salient business topics. As a conversation series, the
invited speakers not only provide their knowledge on a particular topic, but the informal
nature of the presentation allows MBA students the opportunity to ask questions, interact
with the individual and receive personal responses and recommendations. In addition
to MBA students learning valuable information about these topics, they are often made
aware of career vocations and specific opportunities in a variety of fields.

The annual College of Business Ethics Lecturer MBA Q&A is an event in which MBA students interact with distinguished business leaders.
Unlike the BCS, this series is not a presentation on specific topics, but instead
an opportunity for MBA students to apply concepts learned in their courses by directly
asking these successful business leaders questions related to their business decisions.
Students also receive career mentoring advice and learn where these individuals feel
their respective industries are heading.
